章節 19: The Luxury Basement(2)

After walking through the metal door, they were presented with a modernly designed living room. If they didn't know that this living room was underground, they would have mistakenly thought that they had entered a five-star luxury hotel.

"Sister Mei, that side is my brother's room," Jiang Yan said while pointing to the left side wall.

"Where, Xiao Yan?" Su Mei was startled and thought that Jiang Yan had mistakenly pointed in the wrong direction.

"Sister Mei, this is the way to his room," Jiang Yan clarified with a smile. Then, she turned to Xia Yue and asked, "Sister Yue, can you pull that painting sideways?"

"Ye-yes," Xia Yue replied. She was still immersed in her own thoughts, but when she heard Jiang Yan call, she walked towards the painting and pulled it sideways.

The wall slightly trembled and silently lowered, revealing a huge bedroom on their sight. On the wall, a number of guns were neatly arranged.

"Yanyan, are those guns real?" Su Mei pointed to the guns that were presented to them.

"I don't know either. I've never seen my brother holding those things," she shrugged her shoulders and shook her head.

"In the end, what was on his mind that led to all this? Wake up fast, I want to ask you personally," Su Mei sighed and shook her head. She couldn't fully understand Jiang Chen's intentions all this time. She heard from Jiang Yan that he was working in a construction company, but the way things were going, he seemed to be more than just an assistant structural engineer.

The world was in turmoil due to the sudden news and revelation by the U.S President. Some people believed it, while others thought the U.S president was just joking. But reality was cruel.

The unexpected announcement by the U.S caught not only the public off guard, but also countries like China, India, Japan, Russia, and the rest who followed suit. These countries were still preparing for their own business withdrawal in the world economy. After all, human nature dictates that even if the world were to come to an end, people still need to guarantee their benefits. However, with the U.S taking the lead, they had no choice but to follow. After one hour of preparation, they followed suit and announced to the world that an asteroid was really coming to earth.

This time, with the following announcement, the world boiled with excitement, not because of joy but fear, panic, alarm, dismay, terror, fright, dismay, and agitation. The world order that had been in place for almost eighty-four years was now disintegrating because of one news.

Even the Holy See announced to the world that this might be just a test for the whole of humanity and asked people to remain calm and pray.

But can people really stay calm after the powerhouse countries announced the shocking news? From their understanding, they can see that the world government is powerless to stop this impending catastrophe. So how can they remain calm, especially the rich people? After all, they managed to climb to the peak of the world and were just starting to enjoy their debauchery, and now a mere news has shattered their dreams.

In this world, wealth is treasured by people if they can use it to improve their lives, but without life, what is the meaning of wealth? Some people also see this impending catastrophe as a relief, and these people are most likely the poor who cannot even afford to buy a grain of rice. They are just living because of the pity of others, while bearing grudges for their own destinies and countries that are being besieged by powerful nations.

"This is all fate," a middle-aged man sighed and looked at the clear blue sky. "What a beautiful world, but now it will be banished again."

Outside the Milky Way Galaxy, between the Messier 31, also known as the Andromeda Galaxy, a supermassive giant beast star was emitting powerful radiation and nearing the end of its life. If scientists and astrophysicists on Earth were able to see it, it would be a spectacular sight.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The star exploded, and the majority of its impact was directed towards the Milky Way. The worst result was that the nearest Magnetar to Earth was affected by the powerful after-effects of the explosion, resulting in a sudden Star Quake that could lead humanity back to the Stone Age.

Theoretically, everything that happened was impossible to occur in real life, but it was actually happening. Within mere seconds, Earth, which was nine thousand light years away from the Magnetar 1E 1048.1-5937 located in the constellation Carina, was finally hit by the dreadful gamma rays that came from the Star Quake caused by the after-effects of the explosion of the supermassive hyper-giant star outside the Milky Way.
